Is it worth going to the doc after my ex violently attacked me & choked me?!
Question: I've already filed a restraining order(well, its in the process), filed an assault charge and he was sent to jail for domestic abuse. The day after he viciously attacked me, threw me all around the house and choked me until i nearly died, I've been feeling a lot of pain in my neck and especially my arms. My neck deosnt feel too bad, it just has swelling... but my arms are honestly killing me.
Should i just wait it out, not worry about the doctor? Im not too sure its worth it but I'll take a second opinion...

Go to the doctor.Even if a doctor can't make you feel better it will be benificial in your case against your ex.The doctor will probably give you meds to make you more comfortable as well so it's kind of a win win.
a doctors visit wouldnt hurt...i'd go
Yes, you should go to make sure your okay and that i's documented.
go to the doc, have them take pictures and document everything. you may need this information if charges are filed and there is a trial.
Take your beat up self to the doctor and get checked. Let him take pictures of the bruises. Don't deny yourself because of the idiot that did this to you.
Always a good thing to go to the Dr., your body is telling you something isnt right, better safe than sorry.
YES. You should get photo documentation, and a physical exam. You may not see a need for it now, but if later you wish you had the paper trail, you can't go back. Why not get at least some pictures to document? You can always just keep them or throw them away. Better safe than sorry, and please take care of yourself !
please go to the doctor it could be serious,
like maybe he injured an organ or crushed something.
I'm sorry for what happened, glad you got a restraining order.
If it was me, I'd go to a doctor and charge my ex for that.
If you feel you need to go to the doctor, I would go. You know your body better than we do. The arm pain is possibly pulled muscles, and it's probably normal to have swelling after being choked that severely.
I m not in the medical proffesion, but as a worried observer i d go just to get checked. I m sorry that that every happened to you, God bless, your in my prayers.
Hell yes it's worth it...
It always amazes me why people question if they should go to the doctor...it's as simple as this "If YOU think you should go, then go..."
Absolutely go to the MD!!! You need as much documentation as possible. You don't want the ex to have any room to wiggle out of this.
I am sorry to hear what your ex did to you.
I feel that it is better for you to be safe than sorry.
See a doctor and get your wound treated properly.
Yu could have internal brusiing., get checked
depending on how hard he grabbed you i would reckon its only severe bruising,i would suggest a nice long soak in the tub to relax your muscles
however i would suggest visiting the doctor so he can give you a full check over,and see if theres anything more to pain and even still he might be able to prescribe something abit stronger for the pain
best of luck and i hope everything works out for you =)
YA! u need to get checked out! something else could be out of place! and u need to see a shrink also!
It wouldn't kill you to go to the doctor. But your ex might. Get away!
YES! It may not feel broken but their could be some seriuos damage done. Afetr you chek in with the doctors you need to go to the police and report him as well! If not think of what he could do worse to you next time...or even someone else!
You MUST see a doctor immediately, so that the doctor can medically DOCUMENT the attack-you have to have this proof in court-otherwise it is just 'he said-she said' and you can't prove anything he did to you-and he'll be released!
GET THE PROOF, DON'T WAIT...
The doctors is a good idea, he might be able to perscribe some pain killer, and in the process of recovery maybe see a chiropractor. I feeel so bad for you next time you see him tell him hes a **** sucking **** loving piece of **** with a dam small *****
go--or to er--you need documentation any time he attacks you--going to the dr or er gives proof of how violent he is--and don't ever wait to call police either--they can take reports and pictures of any bruising--everything should be documented for any future court hearings or processes
You definitely should get checked out by your doctor. You may have a fracture and not a broken bone but it should still be attended to. If there is anything wrong with you, you'll have medical proof that he caused your injuries and you can use that against him if you decide to sue him for mental anguish and pain and suffering.
You definitely should go! You're lucky to be alive so now you need to keep yourself healthy. BTW.... I'm so sorry this happened to you. I've been there. Good luck and be well :)
Honey I think you honestly need to go see a doctor right away and you need to explain the entire situation. Don't wait on something like this. there could be some issues now with discs in you're back because you said that you're arms are in a lot of pain and that your neck is swelling. could be tissue damages you just never know. listen to your gut and go
First to the police and than to the doc or vice versa. I would not wait until I'm dead. He must get to a violation camp and feel by himself what real pain is.
Don't wait, go.
Franky
Please go to the ER! It is very important to get this documented for your own safety. If you are in pain you should be seen right away plus it will have a larger impact on the assault charges if you have an ER report stating your injuries. Do not wait this out! Good luck!
well you filed a restraining order now go to the doctor and you should of called the police to. don't wait around next time you could be dead don't play games your life is worth more than that
They might be sore from being tossed around like that, but a doctor visit might not be to bad. there could be something wrong, or maybe not.
good job on a restraining order. those are very helpful.
Yes, I think you should go to the doctor before the pain gets worse.Nothing is more important than your health. Just go.Take care and all the best to you.
duh? go to the doctor.
